• Title: Robust Data-Driven Output Feedback Control via Bootstrapped Multiplicative Noise
• Authors: Benjamin Gravell, Iman Shames, Tyler Summers
• Abstract summary: We propose a robust data-driven output feedback control algorithm that explicitly incorporates inherent finite-sample model estimate uncertainties into the control design. A key advantage of the proposed approach is that the system identification and robust control design procedures both use uncertainty representations. We show through numerical experiments that the proposed robust data-driven output feedback controller can significantly outperform a certainty equivalent controller.

• Abstract: We propose a robust data-driven output feedback control algorithm that explicitly incorporates inherent finite-sample model estimate uncertainties into the control design. The algorithm has three components: (1) a subspace identification nominal model estimator; (2) a bootstrap resampling method that quantifies non-asymptotic variance of the nominal model estimate; and (3) a non-conventional robust control design method comprising a coupled optimal dynamic output feedback filter and controller with multiplicative noise. A key advantage of the proposed approach is that the system identification and robust control design procedures both use stochastic uncertainty representations, so that the actual inherent statistical estimation uncertainty directly aligns with the uncertainty the robust controller is being designed against. Moreover, the control design method accommodates a highly structured uncertainty representation that can capture uncertainty shape more effectively than existing approaches. We show through numerical experiments that the proposed robust data-driven output feedback controller can significantly outperform a certainty equivalent controller on various measures of sample complexity and stability robustness.

  We present a novel controller synthesis method that does not rely on any explicit representation of the noise distributions. First, we abstract the continuous control system into a finite-state model that captures noise by probabilistic transitions between discrete states. We use state-of-the-art verification techniques to provide guarantees on the interval Markov decision process and compute a controller for which these guarantees carry over to the original control system.

  Capturing uncertainty in models of complex dynamical systems is crucial to designing safe controllers.

Our contribution is a novel abstraction-based controller method for continuous-state models with noise, uncertain parameters, and external disturbances.

The data-driven reachable regions are computed based on only noisy input-output data of a trajectory of the system. In the noise-free case, we prove that the presented purely data-driven control scheme results in an equivalent closed-loop behavior to a nominal model predictive control scheme.
